I have a weird memory. I can recall entire conversations from months ago, remember what I watched on telly when I was a little kid, but ask me what I read six months ago and I’ll have some issues. Bibi @Bibi’s Book Blog tagged me in this memory challenge, and I must say, the results are concerning. How does this work? You must answer these questions without looking anything up on the internet and without looking at your bookshelves!! Dunn-dunn-dunn! […]

Autumn is the coziest season. Just cold enough to justify wearing boots and cardigans, drown ourselves in hot chocolate and burrow into a nest of blankies, but not too cold to be uncomfortable and make us hate leaving the house. I love the changing colours, the golden sunsets, the fog and the crisp air in the morning, pumpkin spice latte, cinnamon tea, candles and cozying up with a book. Cat on the lap is optional. Top 5 Tuesday is a […]

I think it’s entirely possible that someone tagged me on this one at some point and I’d just forgotten about it. If that’s the case, I’m sorry, it must have slipped under the blankie and is now lost forever in the cookie crumbs. Next question is who ate cookies in the bed? It sure as hell wasn’t me. Anyway… Drew said it’s up for grabs, so don’t mind if I do! #1 You have 20,000 books in your TBR, how […]

An intense, claustrophobic thriller set in the unforgiving bushland of Australia. Force of Nature by Jane Harper Genres: Crime, Mystery Published: 6th February, 2018 Goodreads Series: Aaron Falk #2 Rating: 4 Five women reluctantly pick up their backpacks and start walking along a muddy track. Only four come out on the other side. The hike through the rugged Giralang Ranges is meant to take the office colleagues out of their air-conditioned comfort zone and encourage teamwork and resilience. At least, […]

Fantasy is not a genre I read often; I simply don’t have the patience for it. Magic, adventure, leather pants and moldy cheese (most fantasy characters seem to tote around some all the time) are just really not my thing. I’m saying this, but some of my all time favourite books are actually fantasy. But they all come with a little twist! What are these, you ask? Well, let me show you. The Dark Tower Series by Stephen King Roland, […]

I feel like I missed out on a lot of YA books when I was a teenager. Going from reading Anne of Green Gables at the age of 12 to consuming almost exclusively Stephen King and Dean Koontz with some Jim Morrison poetry from 14 onwards, I think there are plenty of books I never got the chance to discover. That said, I must admit, I wasn’t even aware of any YA stuff back then. Apart from Harry Potter, I […]

Morning, guys! How are you doing? I woke up at 5 a.m. today, currently having my first bucketful of coffee and am trying to make sense of the book I’m reading. The First City by Joe Hart is the final book in The Dominion Trilogy, and even though I read the previous part in June, I’m not quite sure what is happening, and who some of the people mentioned are. Yesterday we went to an organic food festival with my […]

I’ve never been the sort of person who has tons of friends, a huge gang, or an extended social circle. Introvert much? Most likely. Throughout the years my friendships have changed: some evolved, some died off, but if there’s one thing that always stayed the same, it’s that I always considered my closest friends a part of my family. The family I chose. Most books I read are focused on murder, mayhem, police investigations or some other scary, or slightly […]

I’m not really into movies, but give me a good TV show, and I’m going to be glued to the telly for hours. While my reading is heavily crime and thriller focused, I love watching funny shows, fluffy series and even the occasional manga in addition to murder mysteries. Some of my favourite shows are actually quite old, but they definitely worth mentioning because I think everyone with similar interest should give them a go. Top 10 Tuesday is a […]

It might already be Autumn in England, but Greece for sure did not get the memo. I only got back home this morning, at 5 a.m. to be precise, and I’m still sweating just thinking about it. We went to Corfu, and although it was not how I imagined it will be, it was still pretty freaking awesome. I can highly recommend it! You will most likely need a car to get around though because all the nice places are […]

Book lover, cat hugger, coffee drinker, wiseass, capable of eating half a cheesecake in one sitting. Best not to approach before she had her breakfast.
Loves a good thriller, but would probably not touch romance with a stick. Based on the amount of crime fiction she’s read, could probably solve a crime. Or not, but she would certainly try. Loves science fiction and secretly dreams about joining the Starfleet since she was fourteen.
Hates ignorance and anything with coriander. Doesn’t operate well below 25 degree Celsius.
